engine wont start

Ok heres my problem, drove the Z (1994)yesterday to the car wash started fine everytime then went to the the store then somewhere else, then went to start it and no crank? it has a brand new gearreduction starter, you turn the key to start and it acts like the netrual start switch is not working(6spd). What simptoms does the Ign control module have when it goes out? Checked all fuses and fuseble links. Just wondering if anyone had any problems like this. How do you check the ICM or the netrual start switch?

The ICM wont stop it from Cranking over. You can check the start switch by pulling the clip off the switch and just jump the 2 points. You are not getting the security light are you?

I turn on the key and the sercuity light comes on then goes off. When it decides to stop snowing I'll jack it up and check out the wires on the starter ( there real close to the headers)

I was talking the clutch in safety switch. You will see it. It the only thing hooked to the clutch side of the bracket.

SHBOX your site rocks! Looked at the schematic and the fuse terminals for the crank fuse spread apart and wasn't making good contact. Up and running now.
